20.1.11

We were walking thru Brompton Cemetary, Mr. Dot and I, and there was something about the light. I took out my camera, a bit blurred cause we were moving, but I was focused on the girl moving towards us, and all the birds on the lawn. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a runner passed by, and all the birds fled. The sound of their wings fluttering in the sky.

oh, i love these photos. two of my favorite visuals are birds and cemeteries. seriously. i go around photographing charleston's old graveyards when i get the chance, and sometimes the pics end up on my art blog. birds are a bit harder to photograph. there's an edgar allan poe vibe to these photos. speaking of such things, did you know poe's birthday was yesterday, and i just found out that he spent time in the charleston area- well, actually sullivan's island, which is nearby. he even did some writing while he was in the neighborhood. anyway, bit of dark-side trivia for you. :)xo

I don't know if it was because I couldn't find my glasses but when I looked at the first picture I couldn't work out what the strange flying forms were.....they almost looked like blobs of grey paint floating through the air....it was only upon closer inspection WITH glasses I realised they were pigeons...but I like both explanations...the real and the imagined :) x

what is roadtrip23?

RoadTrip23 is the natural evolution from StreetStyle London, which is still here, and has been since 2009. Because there's more to the world than fashion, and there's more to the world than London. Lovely as London is.

I'll still be posting street style, if something really grabs me, but have expanded into other areas of interest, primarily travel, the arts, culture. Whatever I feel is beautiful or interesting: either man made, or a natural wonder.
